Vader, Fel, Shuttle.

By TezzasGames, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I flew the following squadron on the weekend:

(34)Vader; ATC, Predator, TIE MkII.

(35)Soontir Fel; Push, Autothrusters, Stealth Device.

(31)Shuttle; Mara Jade, Rebel Captive, Engine Upgrade.

Three large stress clouds.

I lost to a Four X-Wing list when the only mistake I made (the whole game) with Fel saw him explode.

I defeated TLT-Miranda, TLT-Horton and Ion-Dutch without losing a ship.

Is it competitive? Don't care!

Is it fun? Hell yeah!

Play more X-Wing.

Nice! when I saw the title I figured this would be Palpatine in the shuttle, but I am pleasantly surprised.

How often did Mara trigger?

Nice twist on a popular list archetype. I am also curious about the Mara trigger. She seems so powerful against multiple ships. Also, what 4x X-Wing list gave you trouble?

The Four X-Wings was Hobbie, Tarn, Biggs and Rookie, all with varying Astromechs and Integrated Astromechs.

I've played X-Wing since Wave 1 and I have to admit that this was my FIRST time flying Soontir Fel. In the past, I considered him too cheesy to use. If not for my error, I think I could have scrubbed the X-Wings. Biggs lived two turns longer than he should have, evading like an Interceptor. That wasted Vader's time trying to hunt him down.

Mara Jade was a beast. She stressed three X-Wings in one round when I deliberately moved her onto an asteroid. The Engine Upgrade is very necessary to keep the Shuttle in the fight or boosting it into Range 1 of the enemy.

I'm going to fly it a few more times because it's **** fun!
